This is a Sudoku like one you have never experienced before ;) ...Thousands of puzzles, all free. Top class puzzles with selectable level of difficulty :) ________________________________ To the classic Sudoku, we added: => A smart point system, wherein your score is based on 1) the value of each number multiplied (at the time of its match) by a multiplier that decreases in time and 2) the value of each block, row, column multiplied (at the time of its completion) by the decreasing multiplier => Thanks to Game Center, you can now rank and compare Sudoku scores and achievements against friends and strangers => ▻Sudoku also counts the runs, that is, each uninterrupted sequence of games won, and adds them to the online leaderboards ________________________________ In ▻Sudoku, you win a game when you solve a puzzle with 3 errors or less (we used this threshold to give a bit of slack for mis-tapping :) Also, you have a number of hints to help you play (more at the easy, less at the hard level).
